Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Not meaning to cast doubt on the good Ms Maxey's artistic talent, of course, but... is that meant to be Timmy, or a nanny goat?? :shock: :P

Now being that it's Maxey that looks like a picture of George feeding Timmy. But, it could equally be George removing food from Timmy's reach believing it to be poisoned.

So I'll guess either Five Go Off in a Caravan or Five Go Adventuring Again.

Or maybe it's Five Have a Mystery to Solve and Timmy is tucking hungrily into Waggomeat?
